This site needs some work, but I think the idea is phenomenal ... no different than Amazon reviews in my opinion .. remove the ones that seem out of touch with reality of the "product" but the ones that have some detail, and are middle of the road often have pieces of information that are helpful.

Just like any review, id venture to say the majority of them are people that are upset with their experiences who take the time to complain. Most satisfied customers have a positive experience and move on. It only becomes useful if you get an overwhelming majority of the players who played for each coach to review their coach. But by no means should this be the only information by which coaches are judged (not that thats what you were implying - just felt the point needed to be made)

Apparently, Claremont-Mudd-Scripps men's soccer head coach Trevor Swartz is out after just over 7 months on the job.  No press release has been issued yet, but he's off the website and the school notified players today who had signed up for their ID camp scheduled for this Saturday.  Not sure whether Swartz was let go or resigned for another opportunity because he saw the writing on the wall after the team was shut down over the hazing incident, but CMS will be conducting its third nationwide search for a new coach in the last three years. 

Interesting as well that if you look at their schedule, the last 5 games were cancelled. Anyone know anything about that?

Many division III schools are enrollment driven and its a good way to pump enrollment at those schools to keep the lights on by requiring sports to carry a specific number of athletes


but does this not fester discontent and ultimately larger player movement?

I would think it would. But, if your 1-22 are playing, you'd assume they are happy. As long as the school brings in X dollars, Im fairly certain they won't be bothered but if its a 4 year bench player or a new recruit each season. As long as the bottom line is met, I bet they are okay with turnover.

I have yet to hear a good reason to have more that 28 men on a football team.
Even with injuries/form/rotations there is no need to have those big numbers.

But hey, those trinity boys are always very good and won a National Championship so they might know what they are doing.

Not saying this is the case at trinity but seems like if you want to keep your job that would be a pretty good reason to carry a large roster

Saw this on twitter the other day:

Good move for him but had no idea Salisbury was open. Didn't they just hire last year? Anyone know what happened?
